Does not increase usage time also, it runs out of juice. fast, so then it clicks over to what’s on the generator, so it is not a well thought of device
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from FIRMAN Power EquipmentBy FIRMAN Technical support, November 2, 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the Power Pack+ 1000 did not meet your expectations.
The FIRMAN B104201 expansion battery is designed to add 1,040 watt-hours (Wh) of energy storage to your Zero-E Power Station, extending its overall runtime. However, the amount of additional runtime depends on the wattage of the devices being powered.
For example, a device drawing 100 watts could theoretically operate for approximately 10 additional hours, while a device drawing 1,000 watts would use that same stored energy in approximately one hour. Actual runtimes will be somewhat shorter due to normal power conversion losses and operating conditions.
The expansion battery does increase the total available energy, but higher-wattage appliances will consume that additional capacity much faster than smaller devices.
We would welcome the opportunity to learn what appliances you are powering and help determine whether the runtime you're experiencing is consistent with the expected performance. Please contact our Technical Support team at 1-844-FIRMAN1 so we can assist you.
Purchased the Zero E Head Unit and extra Expansion Packs to run fans in our horse barn. Very pleased with the product, as we get roughly 25 hours of fan operation.
